At the present moment many religions are metamorphosing into Universal religions. Rastafarians have begun to merge with the Mother Earth, Brotherhood of mankind philosophy. Luciferians can adapt their beliefs at any time, from theist to atheist, from worshipping devils to deities. Hindus do not seek converts, they simply want an already establish religion to attach itself as a sect of it, thus making it able to umbrella with all religions. Islam has a sect emerging that is combining Christianity and Islam into Chrislam. The New Age movement is using ecology and nature as a means to create a brotherhood of mankind with all religions involved. Pope Francis I of the Roman Catholic Church has declared that "all are children of God, Muslims, Christians and Hindus, they all serve the same god." Rick Warren, known for his book "The Purpose Driven Life" has signed the Common Word Among Us, which is document and covenant between all religions to serve their God and be unified. Every religion is getting with this new program of a One World Religion, where all mankind is united in celebration and brotherhood, save one. We the Elect, Christians who affirm that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation (John 14:6), that the only True God is the Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and Christianity is the only true faith. In fact Jesus Christ says so and refuses these other religions that think they can have their gods (fallen Genesis 6:1-6), and idols and somehow slip into His flock, "Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever does not enter the sheepfold by the gate, but climbs in some other way (other religions), is a thief and a robber. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen for his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. So He said to them again, "Truly, truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 10:1,3,7, 9, John 14:6).
We are fastly going to become unpopular as the Universal message comes forth from all other religions, we will be the only group saying, "No, Jesus Christ is God and Man, He alone is the gate to Salvation!" (John 10:9). The rising Order will wage war against us, decrying, "everyone else gets along and agrees, they are the troublemakers, they must be seized, imprisoned, and if they will not yield under the lash, then exterminated." Before us is the reality that Jesus Christ promised, "Then will they hand you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations on account of My name. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people." (Matthew 24:9-11). Many believe such a persecution is not yet to come, but one must be blind to the fact that Christians are under severe persecution all over the world. We will be considered the dissidents, and quarrelsome because of our staunch never yielding about the Truth (John 14:6). The crosshairs will be on us, which is fitting because we were told, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me." (Matthew 16:24). Immanuel said these statements knowing full well, being God (Col 2:9), that we would need them to encourage us and help us endure and stand firm (Matthew 24:13). For Jesus warns us that it shall be no picnic in these last days, "I tell you, he will grant justice to them quickly! But when the Son of Man returns, how many will he find on the earth who have faith?" (Luke 18:8), "And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold," (Matthew 24:12), and "In fact, unless that time of calamity is shortened, not a single person will survive. But it will be shortened for the sake of God's chosen ones (The Elect)." (Matthew 24:22).
Before is a brave new world, and we shall need bravery to endure the coming calamities, wars, and persecution that is coming. At present many believers in America enjoy a sense of mild persecution, dirty looks and occasional desire of institutions to remove religious art of Christ from schools. But soon we shall feel the coming tide of hatred towards our Savior and we His people. It is imperative that we prepare out hearts, and learn perseverance in the coming sufferings, "Not only that, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance, character; and character, hope." (Romans 5:4-5). We are going to need character and perseverance in coming age of persecution. We shall soon know what our Syrian brethren, African brethren, Chinese brethren, Iranian brethren, and more have had to endure. We need to pray and learn from Lord Jesus Christ, who is the only way we can stand firm. We must press into presence of God the Father, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit. Learn from God's Spirit and The Holy Scriptures, for suffering is ahead and we need the tools the Trinity has given us and trusting heart in God our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
Addendum:
It turns out the CBN 700 Club has a very brilliant man talking about the same subject. I love his idea that we "need to leave counter cultural faith in culture that hates us, and realize while Daniel was in Babelyon, we are in digital Babylon."
